Prudence Wright Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Timothy P. Doyle Funeral Home, Inc. on Dec. 11, 2025.
Prudence Ann Wright, 77, of Poughkeepsie, passed away on December 9, 2025.
Born to John and Clara Wright on April 14,1948, she was a life long resident of Dutchess County. Prudence graduated in 1966 from Pine Plains Highschool, before moving on to Dutchess Community College and then eventually getting a degree in early education from Brockport University in 1970.
Prudence then went on to be a great teacher working for the Millbrook school system, where she absolutely loved all of her students. Deeply involved with her church and community, Prudence enjoyed acting, preforming in a few plays in high school and then also in a few church pageants, all while adding her musical talents as well with her sister Mary.
Prudence was a member of the Bengall United Methodist Church as well and the one in Pine Plains. She was also a member of the Tres Dias Christian Ministry.
Being a kind, loving pet owner with a very big heart, Prudence will certainly be missed by all those who knew her.
Prudence leaves behind her brothers David, William and Douglas; and his wife Jo Ann Wright. He also is survived by his nephews Mathew, and Peter with his wife Kelly: and his Nieces Mandy and Sarah with her husband Dave.
A Celebration of life will be held in the spring for Prudence. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Prudence Wright, please visit our floral store.
